Filed To Story: Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family

Even if Mirabella gave him a hard time, he was all about pleasing and showing weakness!

How could Mirabella treat such a great guy like this?

It was too much!

“Please forgive me.” Romeo pleaded with the girl in his arms, “Don’t ignore me.”

Mirabella was truly at a loss for words. “Haven’t I been responding to you?”

“You’ve become colder. How can I get you to pay attention to me?”

“Talk to me like you used to.” Romeo held onto her tightly.

Mirabella really couldn’t recall how she used to interact with him. She felt like she hadn’t changed at all. Or was it because she zoned out earlier and didn’t notice what he said, making him feel neglected?

“How about you punish me?” Romeo clung to her, saying, “As long as you forgive me, I’ll do whatever you say.” Mirabella’s eyes lit up at his words. “Really?”

“Yep.” Romeo nodded earnestly, waiting for whatever punishment she would dish out.

“Then I sentence you to two days without contacting me. I need some time alone.”

She desperately needed some alone time. She had a lot of things she needed to take care of by herself.

Recently, she had been unable to get anything done because of this guy constantly clinging to her!

This was a great opportunity

“Bella”

This punishment was too harsh for Romeo!

His heart felt as though it was being torn apart, but he still managed to plead, “Can we change the punishment?”

Mirabella was speechless. “Didn’t you say I could choose?”

“Not even two hours; I can’t do it.” Romeo looked at her honestly and sincerely and said, “How could I possibly not look for you?”

“Then for the next two days, keep your distance from me, no touching.”

At least not in public.

This punishment was also a heavy blow for Romeo; he tried to negotiate, saying, “Can’t you punish me in some other way? Like hiring someone to beat me up; I’ll even pay for it?”

“Do you have too much time on your hands?”

“Or starve me for a few days; make me kneel.”

From the side, Serena had had enough; she couldn’t stand it anymore!

“Sis, enough. I was just talking to Romeo. Why are you giving him a hard time?

“Does what I do have anything to do with you?” Mirabella raised her eyes dismissively, her superior aura making people wary.

Romeo studied her beautiful face and said, “Even if you make me kneel for three days and nights, I won’t complain.”

“You heard that?” Mirabella looked at Serena with a dismissive tone and said, “It’s our business, none of your business.” Romeo was overjoyed. Bella said “our business“! “Our“!!

Serena was furious; she could only turn her gaze to Romeo and say, “Romeo, you can’t always spoil a girl like this.”

“I’m willing!” Romeo was still immersed in his joy; he glanced at Serena discontentedly and said, “Fiancées are meant to be pampered. Whatever Bella does to me, I’m happy.”

Serena was literally done: “I’m afraid that in the future,”

“In the future, if you get angry with me, it just means you care about me.” Romeo looked at the girl in his arms, his eyes filled with tenderness and love.

Serena: !!!

‘Yo, it’s so sweet first thing in the morning! Am I interrupting?” Kenneth quickly stopped, laughing as he draped his arm over Louisa’s shoulder. “Let’s have breakfast in the garden, shall we? Let’s leave them some space.”

Okay.” Louisa grinned. Seeing Serena still sitting at the dining table, she immediately said, “Serena, what are you waiting for? Let’s go.”

Don’t disturb Romeo and Bella!

Serena cast a reluctant glance at Romeo, not understanding how this man could be so infatuated and completely bewitched by Mirabella!

What’s so great about Mirabella anyway?

With no one else around, Romeo let loose, hugging Mirabella nonstop

Finally arriving at the company, Mirabella breathed a sigh of relief Spotting Dean, she said in a soft voice, “Fetch Mr. Charlie from the production department and the team leaders from lines four and five to my office

“Sure thing” As Dean went off to call them, the company employees started their whispering game again.

Ever since Mirabella took over, whoever got called into her office was toast!

Now she had Dean call over Mr. Charlie and the line leaders.

A bunch of nosy employees followed sneakily, curious about what the big deal was.

“Ms. Bennett, you wanted to see us?”

Mr. Charlie, looking a bit malnourished, was around forty, tall, and skinny. His shrewd eyes twinkled with a bit of mischief.

The other two line leaders looked anxious but managed to squeeze out a smile and said in unison, “Good morning. Ms. Bennett.”

Without wasting any time, Mirabella tossed her phone on the table and played the recording.

“Eden, whether you agree or not, this is how it’s going down; there’s no room for discussion!”

“Has Mr Oscar mistreated you guys in the past year? Can’t you see what’s happening? Now that Ms. Bennett is here, every little thing is under scrutiny. Lines four and five have to stop, and the inventory in the warehouse needs to be cleared out in a couple of days. Or else, not just us, even Mr. Oscar will get into trouble!”

Mr. Charlie and Eden from line four went as white as sheets!

These were their words from the hallway, recorded crystal clear.

Did the hallway have bugs? Or was Mirabella eavesdropping in the hallway last night?

“Ms. Bennett, this is,” Mr. Charlie was in disbelief and completely at a loss for words!

This can’t be happening!

He had checked the security cameras; nobody entered or left the company last night. He had even specifically checked the recording, which was working the whole time. If someone was there, they would’ve been caught on tape!

Unless that person could become invisible!

Otherwise, how could this be explained?

Were there really bugs?

“There is no need to rush your explanation.” Mirabella said casually as she played another recording.

“Mr. Charlie, if Mirabella actually came to the company and knew about the goods we’re producing, what would we do?”

“With the way Mirabella is checking things, it won’t be long before all our secrets are out!”

“Could we lose our jobs because of this?”

“If Mirabella finds out about our mistakes, we might not just lose our jobs; we could even get sued!“”

“If someone had an accident on their way to work, like a car crash or something else, we can’t be blamed; they’re just unlucky.”

Mr. Charlie was terrified; the last sentence was his. Now that Mirabella played it in front of him, he went pale, feeling like the sky was falling. He was done!

The other two leaders were also scared stiff, barely able to stand. They couldn’t believe their conversation in the warehouse last night was recorded in full!

They didn’t even have a chance to argue.

So Mr. Charlie wasn’t hearing things last night; the sound of a phone vibrating was someone hiding in the warehouse recording!

But who could it be? How did they do it?
